I am an extrovert and love meeting new people. I'm the sort of person who likes to play "tourist" in my own town. I moves to Sarasota a few years ago but thanks to the pandemic, I still have a lot of sight-seeing to do! I love to kayak and hike. I'm a writer and I'm a bit of a podcast addict. I like good coffee, Port wine, and watching the sun rise on my porch.

Note: I do not accept friend requests from people I’ve never met.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to be social, to meet new people, and to travel to new places. But with school and now work, time has somehow gotten away from me. I'm working on being more intentional with my time and venturing out of my routine.

Interests

I mentioned kayaking, but it isn't just something I like to do every now and again. I actually used to teach classes and guide kayaking trips for a living before I decided it was time to grow up and get a "real job." (What was I thinking?!)

• writing
• karaoke
• hiking
• kayaking
• history
• travel
• craft beer
• museums

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Harry Potter, The Walking Dead (the TV show & the graphic novels), Patricia Briggs, Cassandra Clare, and I don’t think I ever finished reading the Olympus Bound series by Jordanna Max Brodsky, so I have to get on that! And then there's my guilty pleasure - personal finance books. Weird, I know, but I'm a nerd like that...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived law school. Does that count?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, and would love to share a homemade meal with my hosts! Also, if you would rather eat that meal on the water, I am almost always up for planning a kayak adventure (weather and waterways permitting).
